IN  HIGH  SCHOOLS  AND  JUNIOR  COLLEGES 


UNIVERSITY  OF  CALIFORNIA  PRESS 
BERKELEY 

1917 


This  bibliography  is  intended  to  aid  teachers  of  German  in  selecting 
books  and  periodicals  for  their  own  libraries  and  those  of  their  schools, 
and  to  give  information  as  to  the  maps  and  charts  needed  in  modem 
instruction;  with  a  few  unavoidable  exceptions,  It  does  not  include  text- 
books for  the  use  of  students. 

Copies  are  being  sent  at  this  time  (May,  1917)  to  all  teachers  of 
German  and  to  aU  principals  of  high  schools  in  California;  additional 
copies  may  be  obtained  from  the  undersigned. 

A  supplementary  list  of  teachers'  aids, — "Lehrmittel"  of  all  kinds, 
for  use  in  class  and  in  German  clubs — such  as  wall  pictures,  plays  suitable 
for  school  performances,  song  books  and  books  on  German  games,  collec- 
tions of  riddles,  etc.,  is  now  in  preparation. 

With  regard  to  text-books,  the  attention  of  teachers  is  called  to  the 
library  of  the  Department  of  German  of  the  State  University,  in  the 
office  of  the  department,  400  Wheeler  Hall.  It  was  founded  fifteen  years 
ago  for  the  use  of  the  department  and  of  teachers  of  German  gener- 
ally in  making  the  best  possible  choice  of  text-books  for  their  classes. 
It  contains  all  German  text-books  published  in  America,  and  is  being 
constantly  kept  up  to  date.  Teachers  of  German  are  cordially  invited  to 
avail  themselves  of  the  unique  facilities  which  the  completeness  of  this 
library  affords  for  the  examination  and  comparison  of  the  grammars, 
dictionaries,  composition  books,  editions  of  texts,  etc.,  published  by  the 
various  American  firms.

No  recommendations  can  be  made  as  to  works  of  more  recent  literature. 

For  the  use  of  pupils  in  assigned  or  voluntary  outside  reading,  a  high 
school  or  junior  college  library  should  also  contain  a  considerable  number  of 
easy,  interesting  texts  (short  stories  and  novels,  modern  and  thoroughly 
German,  and  a  few  well  selected  plays)  in  school  editions  such  as  are  pub- 
lished by  a  number  of  American  firms.  In  this  connection,  attention  is  also 
called  to  Heyse's  Novellenschatz  (listed  under  XI)  and  to  the  excellent  series 
called  "Wiesbadener  Volksbiicher,"  166  volumes  published  by  the  Volks- 
bildungsverein  Wiesbaden  and  averaging  in  price  $0.15.
